Chapter 144
“ph? A famous movie star confessed to you, and you turned him down?”
“Just don’t like him”
Agnes looked at Jared, her breath almost hitching in her throat
Jared calmly met her gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly
He closed the distance between them and whispered, “I’ll let you off the hook this time, but keep your distance in the future.”
The way Jared said it was full of implications
His cool lips were almost touching Agnes.
She could feel his warm breath every time he spoke, almost as if he was trying to seduce her.
Agnes thoughts began to whirl
Seeing Agnes looking dazed, Jared couldn’t resist leaning in for a kiss
In truth, Jared knew very well
Agnes and Justin didn’t have anything going on.
But not until Agnes admitted it hersell did Jared finally feel at ease.
He kissed her for a long time before finally letting go
Agnes‘ face was so red it looked like she was about to bleed
Her thoughts hadn’t caught up yet
She was supposed to be the one blaming him, why is it now him forgiving her?
Jared looked at Agnes face, saying with satisfaction, “Come meet my parents tonight”
Jared’s words jolted Agnes back to reality like a bolt of lightning
“Meet your parents?
“Our relationship is out in the open now, keeping it a secret from my family is impossible I’m sure my father will take action soon!
Just as Jared finished speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door
Jared said indifferently. “Come in.“.
When Leo walked in, he saw Jared holding Agnes close as if he had just been doting on her
In front of Jared, Agnes looked like a rabbit being eyed by a leopard
Leo coughed to get their attention, then lowered his head and said, “Mr. Whitfield, your father called. He has arranged a dinner with Agnes’s family tonight. He asks that you
both attend”
Jared said nonchalantly, “I see ”
Leo lingered at the door, not leaving
Jared asked coldly, “Is there anything else?”
Leo gathered his courage and said, “Mr Whitfield, the shareholders‘ meeting was supposed to start at three, it’s already twenty–two past three now. The shareholders have been waiting for a while, they didn’t dare to come in.”
Agnes was mortified.
She hadn’t realized that so many people were gathered outside the door, and they were the company’s major shareholders.
She wanted to find a hole and crawl into it
Only then did she realize how intimate she and Jared must have looked?
She let out a yelp and pushed Jared away.
Jared, however, seemed completely unconcerned. He leisurely adjusted his tie and said, “Let them in”
Then he turned to Agnes and said, “Wait for me in my office. We’ll go home together tonight”
Agnes hurriedly said, “I should
Jared agreed. All night!”
